G56: Mariners 1, Red Sox 0

Betancourt donged to left in the third for the only run of the night. Boston's two hits came in the fourth inning, as Manny and Lowell rapped consecutive one-out singles. Casey followed that outburst with a 1-4-6-3 GIDP.

Facing Putz in the ninth, Manny drew a four-pitch walk with one out. After Lowell hacked on a 1-0 offering and popped out to short, Casey walked. But Crisp looked at two strikes, then grounded weakly to second.

That devilish Tampa team beat the Rangers 5-3, so we drop to 1.5 GB. New York topped Baltimore (our next stop, Friday) 4-2, and remain 6 GB in the cellar.

Apparently started from a kitchen fire. Completely gutted, but no apparent structural damage to the exterior. It's new construction, and they build it these days so it at least doesn't spread (absent arson).

I don't know, but I don't think anyone was hurt. Lots of ambulances looked like they drove away empty, and kids were playing on the lawn after they extinguished it, so presumably there weren't corpse briquettes in the area.

Amalie Benjamin: "Justin Masterson has been moved up from Saturday to Thursday in the Pawtucket rotation. Masterson, who was scheduled to make his Triple A debut Saturday, was pushed up to Thursday night against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre at McCoy Stadium. ... With the day off, there is the possibility that Tim Wakefield could be moved up to start on normal rest on Monday in Baltimore with Masterson throwing Tuesday for the Sox."

Why in the name of fuck is the linescore optional on mlb.tv? Did people complain about it being there? "I don't want that pesky linescore off to the side when I'm trying to watch the baseball game it handily sums up! God!"

I assume the linescore is optional because it's probably closer to realtime than the audio/video feeds, and it could potentially spoil the results of the play before you see it. Not sure though, never actually experimented.

If Manny gets it tonight, "Dan Lowe" wins my contest which Allan was nice enough to link here. Does anyone know who that is? He's not a regular on my blog, and I don't remember seeing that name here, either.

I'm here. just settling in to being on the radio. I'm playing some Utah Phillips--one of my heroes who passed away last week (look at my avatar). Right now it's one of his shows on the amazingness of radio. right now it's a recording of a live broadcast of the Hindenberg. Chilling know what's coming.

Heh, who knows what makes people tick. Probably something unrelated to you ticked her off. Easy to vent in cyberspace especially with an anonymous type of screen name and against someone who doesn't see you.
